In about the middle of this video, it shows a guy named Happy, not chained, but it looks like pipes on his arms attached to the machinery - something that looks like it would take quite a while to remove.
Civil disobedience will cost the oil company big bucks - each day of delay costs the oil companies hundreds of thousands of dollars
Dakota Pipeline - winter buildings being built, schools - now semi-permanent gathering -donate
Some say living near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation is better than conditions at home in their reservations. They are on Federal Land but it's land taken away from the Sioux by the government.
Its a semi-permanent, sprawling gathering with a new school for dozens of children and an increasingly organized system to deliver water and meals to the hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people from tribes across North America whove joined the Standing Rock Sioux in their legal fight against the Dakota Access oil pipeline to protect sacred sites and a river thats a source of water for millions of people.
This is better than where most people came from, said 34-year-old Vandee Kahlsa, referencing the oft-harsh conditions of reservations across the United States. The Santa Fe, New Mexico, resident, who is Osage and Cherokee, has been at the camp for more than a month.
The encampment has averaged about 4,000 people recently, he estimated; only 25 of North Dakotas 357 towns have more than 2,000 people. Its been called the largest gathering of Native Americans in a century, and the first time all seven bands of Sioux have come together in since Gen. George Custers ill-fated 1876 expedition at the Battle of Little Big Horn, Edwards and others say.

CNN Anchors Have Finally Had It With Donald Trump’s Lies - great video - CNN feels played
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-birther-cnn_us_57dc2301e4b08cb14095847eTrump floats rolling back food safety regulations - OMG -
In a fact sheet posted online Thursday, the campaign highlighted a number of "specific regulations to be eliminated" under the GOP nominee's economic plan, including what they called the "FDA Food Police."
The FDA Food Police, which dictate how the federal government expects farmers to produce fruits and vegetables and even dictates the nutritional content of dog food, it read.
The rules govern the soil farmers use, farm and food production hygiene, food packaging, food temperatures and even what animals may roam which fields and when, the statement continued. "It also greatly increased inspections of food 'facilities,' and levies new taxes to pay for this inspection overkill."

Nazi Ties & Agent Orange: the Real Bayer - Monsanto Merger Story - WILL RAISE FOOD PRICES ACROSS US
(WILL RAISE FOOD PRICES ALL ACROSS US) - My 2 favorite progressives - Thom Hartman and Mike Papantonio (wow! you gotta love Pap - he always tells it as it is)
Mike: Very. Very concerned. There are two huge issues with this Bayer Monsanto merger. The first is, that its going to raise food prices all across the United States and even beyond our boarders. Farmers have already experienced a 300% price increase in recent years, on everything from seeds to fertilizer, all of which are controlled by Monsanto, and ever forecaster is predicting that these prices are going to climb even higher because of this merger. Were going to have this massive price hike, at a time when 14 million Americans have already been unable to provide food for their families, and then were going to have this ethical problem thats plagued both of these corporations for decades.

Dakota Access Pipeline will make 200 river crossings
The pipeline was originally meant to run near the city of Bismarck, which has an overwhelmingly white population, before objections resulted in it being relocated to a site near Native American land.

Who's Funding the Dakota Access Pipeline? Bank of America, HSBC, UBS, Goldman Sachs,
and Wells Fargo
Macmillan interviewed by Amy Goodman
AMY GOODMAN: And explain what the banks are. Which banks are they? And how are they involved?
HUGH MACMILLAN: I can. Citibank is the bank thats been running the books on the project, and thats the bank that beat the bushes and got other banks to join in. So, we have Wells Fargo, BNP Paribas, SunTrust, Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Mizuho Bank, TD Securities, ABN AMRO Capital, DNB First Bankand thats actually a bank based in Philly; its not the DNB Bank based in Norway, which is actually provided several hundred million to the Energy Transfer family separatelyand ICBC London, SMBC Nikko Securities and Société Générale.

Texas Newspaper Endorses Hillary, First Democrat Since 1940’s –
There is only one serious candidate on the presidential ballot in November: We recommend Hillary Clinton, the papers editorial board declared.
We dont come to this decision easily. This newspaper has not recommended a Democrat for this nations highest office since before World War II if youre counting, thats more than 75 years and nearly 20 elections.
The newspaper touted Clintons government experience and said shes demonstrated an ability to work with Republicans.
The Morning News took Trump to task for allegedly taking American voters down a dark and angry path.
He plays on fear exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism and misogyny to bring out the worst in all of us, rather than the best, the editorial board concluded.
The Dallas newspaper reminded Clinton that its got beefs with the Democratic Partys over-reliance on government and regulation to remedy the countrys ills.
